here we go:
----------------------------------------------------
here are my observations on the sysex MIDI messages sent by "MixdownCBX-D5" to CBX.

Source switch set to "DAT"
F0 43 78 40 00 40 00 00 02 30 32 F7

Source switch set to "analog"
F0 43 78 40 00 40 00 00 02 30 33 F7


first four are always the same. F0 Sysex header, 43 78 Yamaha ID and sub-ID, 40 parameter dump.
next 00 is channel nr. 40 denotes a "common" parameter (most of the time it is 00, ch message)
00 is parameter nr. 00 02 is byte count (never changes), 30 32 are the parameter's value, in Yamaha's twisted value (zero is 30 30, 127 is 37 46), F7 is sysex trailer.

ch. 1's volume set to "0"
F0 43 78 40 00 00 0C 00 02 30 30 F7

ch. 1's volume set to "127"
F0 43 78 40 00 00 0C 00 02 37 46 F7

ch. 1's volume (in "FX sends" block) set to "0"
F0 43 78 40 00 00 06 00 02 30 30 F7

ch. 1's send 1 (in "FX sends" block) set to "0"
F0 43 78 40 00 00 10 00 02 30 30 F7

ch. 1's send 2 (in "FX sends" block) set to "0"
F0 43 78 40 00 00 11 00 02 30 30 F7

ch. 2's volume (in "FX sends" block) set to "0"
F0 43 78 40 01 00 06 00 02 30 30 F7

ch. 2's send 1 (in "FX sends" block) set to "0"
F0 43 78 40 01 00 10 00 02 30 30 F7

ch. 2's send 2 (in "FX sends" block) set to "0"
F0 43 78 40 01 00 11 00 02 30 30 F7

FX return "FX 1L" vol 1 set to 0 (note this is a "common" parameter)
F0 43 78 40 00 40 14 00 02 30 30 F7

FX return "FX 1L" assigned to "out 2"  (note this is a "common" parameter)
F0 43 78 40 00 40 0C 00 02 30 31 F7

FX return "FX 1R" vol 1 set to 0 (note this is a "common" parameter)
F0 43 78 40 00 40 16 00 02 30 30 F7

FX return "FX 1R" assigned to "out 2"  (note this is a "common" parameter)
F0 43 78 40 00 40 0E 00 02 30 31 F7

FX nr change to 1
F0 43 78 40 00 40 27 00 02 30 31 F7

EQ mode "on" (DEQ)
F0 43 78 40 00 40 20 00 02 30 32 F7

EQ mode "off" (THRU)
F0 43 78 40 00 40 20 00 02 30 31 F7
------------------------------------------------------

I still can't put my finger on that elusive "input rec monitor" thing...  it should be
F0 43 78 40 00 00 00 00 02 30 31 F7 for ch1 and
F0 43 78 40 01 00 11 00 02 30 31 F7 for ch 2, but it doesn't work!!!
When I arm the tracks in Logic Audio, the switch works because I see audio on the output meters, but NO MIDI command gets sent!
I'm stumped by this one. Very frustrating, as this command is crucial to the project.

P.O.

Hi there, I am new to the thread and I stumbled upon it because I am in the process of programming a Behringer BCF2000 control box for my CBX-D5. I was able to get sound and effects out of it. Even effect over the 4 audio busses work now..
Thanks to you guys I was able to resurrect this great interface now.. The codes you provided were mostly very useful. I found a lot more and programmed them in the patch.

If anyone is interested in the software patch I made for this BCF2000 controller I can send a working preset for that machine. It was a hell of a job but i love to share it.
It is not finished yet because I am working on it right now. See photo. The phone dial thing is a effect preset "chooser" that I build using an Arduino Uno that can choose a preset fast by dialing in the number. I have used the SysEx commands in this topic for it.

By the way I have learned a lot on my G4 with Mac Os 9 and am now on Mac OsX10.9.5
Happy coding everyone..

I have a BCF 2000 . You have it working in Mac Os 9?

I use it on OS X mostly, in BabyHUI emulation mode inside Protools > 6

[adriaanhendrik]

I have used it on Logic Pro, mostly worked just fine but nowadays mix more in the box with automation. Since I have a great editor for it (check BCManager on the mountainutilities.eu) I can send SysEx codes from the controls instead or in addition to the CC's that are programmed from the Behringer presets. Perfect for my CBX-D5 now. If I could use DP on MacOs 9, I would consider buying a vintage iMac for the CBX-D5 audio recording now that I am so far... But I would have to find a suitable version of DP in that case

I also tried Protools First, but it never opened good on my Macbook OsX10.9.5
It crashes even after several updates. So far I am left in the cold from AVID Never got an answer from them, despite me asking for support. I guess they love their paying customers a bit more..

[P.O.]

HA!!
after three years, I have finally realised I had made a gross mistake in my commands to set the "record monitor" switch!

I have been piqued by adriaanhendrik success with his amazing controller, and decided to get at the bottom of this impasse.
I searched for my notes (which I did not find...), took the CBX off its shelf, and made it to work after some frobnication with my PCR-300 controller.
(one annoying quirk I discovered in the PCR editor: when you assign sysex to a controller, the bytes to send are written in Hex, but the variable's limits are in decimal!)

So now I guess I can resume work for that CBX controller...

  P.O.

I get the feeling that many members here have the type A trait of "Never Give Up"  This, I know, pessonally is a blessing and a curse

Hi there,
I'm pleased to see that you noticed my success with the CBX D5.
I was able install Logic Audio on my old Mac laptop and was able to read all of the SysEx commands and data coming from that application to the CBX using the software from https://mountainutilities.eu/miditools.
I wish you a lot of patience and success.!!

Check out this video which is all about the completion of this project.

im enjoying your victory aswell 
well done

like i always said on the forum,
there is 99% of the time, usually a REASON for something
not working properly
and 99% of the time, unfortunately for us humans
its human error! LOL


pleased to read of your success!
and looking forward to reading more about the cbx

first arduino-based telephone. not actually mobile, but still smaller than a lorry.

Well I did make a BASIC Stamp based telephone last year, for a museum exhibit...
